Eldritch Vanguard Syndra
The Eldritch Vanguard Syndra composition in Teamfight Tactics (TFT) Set 12 hinges on the synergy between Eldritch and Vanguard traits, amplified by a three-starred Syndra as the primary damage dealer. This build leverages Syndra’s potent spell, which scales dramatically with casts, alongside the protective frontline provided by Vanguard units and the additional summoned Old God from the Eldritch trait. The core of this strategy lies in efficiently acquiring and itemizing key units: Syndra, Mordekaiser, and Galio. Success relies heavily on securing these units early and consistently hitting key power spikes at specific levels.
How to Play Eldritch Vanguard Syndra
Mastering the Eldritch Vanguard Syndra build requires a strategic approach throughout the game. Early game focuses on acquiring key units and building towards a strong mid-game foundation. The mid-game emphasizes itemization and hitting crucial power spikes, while the late game involves careful level-ups and unit additions to maintain dominance. Consistency in hitting your key units is paramount, and adapting your strategy based on the game’s flow is essential for success. Consider a win or loss streak strategy to help optimize your early game economy and increase your chances of getting a 3-star Syndra.
Early Game Plan
The early game prioritizes finding and leveling Syndra. Aim for a balanced team composition incorporating units that synergize with your eventual build while still maintaining a healthy economy. Examples include pairing Syndra with units like Ashe and Elise for early game strength. Focus on acquiring gold efficiently, aiming to end Stage 2 with at least 40 gold. Avoid overspending on units you won’t use in your final composition. Prioritize itemization for Syndra early, to boost her damage output and help secure wins to maintain a winning streak. A strong early game sets the stage for a successful late game.
Mid Game Plan
Reaching level 6 is the critical point in the mid-game. At this level, you aim to field a core team of Syndra, Mordekaiser, Galio, and supporting units like Ashe and Nilah to leverage 4 Vanguards and 3 Eldritch. Prioritize two-starring your key units, especially Syndra and Mordekaiser. Itemization is crucial, focusing on maximizing Syndra’s damage output and Mordekaiser’s tankiness.
Core Item Units
Syndra: Optimal item combinations include Shojin + Nashor’s Tooth + Jeweled Gauntlet, or Shojin + Nashor’s Tooth + Red Buff. These items amplify her attack speed, spell power, and ability damage, maximizing her damage output.
Mordekaiser: Prioritize tank items like Gargoyle Stoneplate, Dragon’s Claw, and Warmog’s Armor, or consider alternatives like Redemption and Steadfast for survivability and support. These items greatly increase his survivability and ensure he stays on the battlefield long enough for Syndra to shine.
Items for Sub Units
Nami: Consider items like Blue Buff, Statikk Shiv, and Morellonomicon, or alternatively Rabadon’s Deathcap, Red Buff, and Shojin for additional damage and utility. Itemization for Nami is less crucial than for Syndra and Morde.
Galio: Focus on tank items like Gargoyle Stoneplate, Sunfire Cape, and Steadfast. These reinforce his role as a frontline tank to shield your carries from attacks.
Late Game Plan
The late game revolves around reaching level 7 and 8 to further optimize your team composition. This involves strategically adding units to enhance synergies and compensate for any shortcomings. Level 7 allows you to add a powerful unit like Karma or Vex. Level 8 allows for a final optimization, adding units like Rumble and Tahm Kench to provide additional control and tankiness. You may need to adapt to the current meta and your specific board state.
Level 6
- Syndra, Mordekaiser, Galio, Nami, Ashe, Nilah (or similar supportive units)
Level 7
- Syndra, Mordekaiser, Galio, Nami, plus two additional units such as Karma, Vex, or Rumble, depending on available options and synergy.
Level 8
- Syndra, Mordekaiser, Galio, Nami, Karma/Vex, Tahm Kench, Rumble, potentially a further unit such as a strong frontline tank or another damage dealer depending on what is available and what you’ve already got
Remember to adapt your strategy based on the units you find and the current game state. Flexibility and an understanding of item and unit synergies are crucial for success with this build. Don’t be afraid to deviate slightly from this plan if you find better options along the way.
